Gabriel Moshenska is Associate Professor in Public Archaeology at UCL Institute of Archaeology. His research interests include cultures of performance and display in the history of archaeology, the archaeology of twentieth-century conflict, and the public understanding of the past.
'Key Concepts in Public Archaeology offers a useful compilation of
themes and has the advantage of being freely available on the
publisher's platform, giving access to a much-needed resource in a
context where most contents are locked away behind a paywall or
expensive purchase prices.'
Public Archaeology
'Key Concepts in Public Archaeology offers an overview of the
remarkable diversity of ways UK archaeologists have brought the
field to a wide audience of nonprofessionals, many in active roles.
Moshenska, the volume editor, offers a succinct but thoughtful
definition for public archaeology as "practice and scholarship
where archaeology meets the world."'
American Anthropologist
'Littered throughout with concise and well-chosen case studies, Key
Concepts in Public Archaeology could become essential reading for
undergraduates and is a welcome reminder of where archaeology sits
in UK society today.'
British Archaeology
'Moshenska has brought together a bevy of talented individuals who
have produced a solid introductory text that is accessible in terms
of cost and content. The book is not intended to be a comprehensive
guide to public archaeology, but it does an excellent job in
capturing diverse interfaces between archaeology and the
public.'
